![[Meta] A lot of my OC edits are gone.](https://media.tenor.com/LqVVm2ubyXwAAAAM/spock-computer.gif){kind=link}
The PeerTube instance that I have been uploading to is no more. I think there are around 70 edits of mine that are no longer accessible. If there was a catbox link, they may still work. This represents hundreds of hours of work that I did that have simply vanished. If a link is broken, let me know and I can see if I still have the files for it. Thank you all for watching the things I’ve made/
Synchronized files are not backup.
While synchronized files may save you if you get lucky, proper backups are things that work without that requirement of “luck”.
It also doesn’t mean synchronized files are useless. It only means they are not backup.
I get that, just these files get updated regularly so synchronicity is important than independent files. I get for a will I’d want independent files since that is (hopefully) rarely changed except maybe once a year.
